She will never top this. I guess being overprotected by family made this my favorite song of hers. Also, the original >>>> the remix.

Well, one of the two artists I have left isn’t exactly known for setting the charts alight. Not sure if it’s considered a surprise that the song is still in, but I thought it would have left ages ago based on earlier eliminations (and the fact that it was always the same two people making up 90% of her thread back in the day, haha!).
One of our Dutch radio stations is currently doing a Top 1003 of Noughties songs people could vote for as well. They were playing the lower 800s this afternoon and The Fear and Black Coffee have already been booted out. Neither of them even managed to beat Gareth Gates and his stupid mistake…

I actually voted for that this week and was shocked by the voting list which missed out so many hits (like there was 1 Backstreet Boys single there?? But 5 Birgit Schuurman ones??)
Trying hard to think which act you could still have left!
I voted for that too, but of course I couldn’t hand in most of my actual favourites because there were only two “wildcard” options.
Shockingly I managed to actually vote for Siobhan Donaghy and two Goldfrapp songs, who were - in fact - on the voting list. Not that they have even the tiniest chance of making it in, though!

THE ONE / (FREEMASONS MIX) | KYLIE MINOGUE
Voted By: @Runawaywithme (19) @berserkboi (11) @klow (10) @Aester (8) @Verandi (2)

Runawaywithme Commentary:
This song makes me feel a way I can't quite describe but I just love. It’s like being taken to another galaxy by Kylie, the way it just builds and builds is the closest it feels like you can get to complete euphoria. From those opening synths, I’m just in awe and it feels like nothing else around me matters. Seeing this performed live as the sunset at Edinburgh Castle in 2019 was a life highlight. This is another song that has got me through some bleak times. Kylie just is a ray of infinite light this cruel world doesn't deserve and this song sums up that magic touch perfectly. In an ideal world, this was number one for ten weeks.

Fuck; I should've noted that my commentary/score was technically for the album version. But the Freemasons mix still bangs and is an audio masterpiece so I'll allow it (I also don't want to inflict going back over these scores on you ddd) this gem desveres it's tens!!! I'm glad it's done so well here! We really do have significantly better taste than the GP.
The Show is arguably the prototype Girls Aloud Xenomania song. The synths, the clever lyrics, the intricate backing track and the slight hint of darkness all come together in a heady eclectic mix. I wasn't sure how far it would get so I'm happy it made it so far.
To be slightly fair to the GP, in the UK at least, I think the record company and Kylie did 'The One' wrong.
I had always intended to vote for the album version too, but perhaps the votes for the two were combined. "Love At First Sight" is probably unlucky to have missed out on my ballot but when I compiled it I think I thought "The One" might be more likely to miss out on a high placing on a list like this and so threw it sympathy points; how fortunately wrong I was!

Soz, lemme quickly edit the post (I am combining points for different versions of the same song by the same artist).
As we're reaching the point where I'll have to post multiple ballots per week, I'll be dedicating the weekends to that and proceeding with the reveals during the week (for now).

Please welcome to the stage the opening act for today's reveal:
The literal translation of the chorus line is "Together we are many, we cannot be defeated" (Ukr. Разом нас багато, нас не подолати).
Words that have not lost their relevance 17 years later.

The band and the promo are problematic as all hell but what a song. The band in general just delivered stone cold hit after hit. This song is just glorious. I don’t know another 4 min pop song that crams so much in. By the time we get to the “ mother looking at me” middle eight there’s been two verses, three choruses, outros, an electrifying instrumental, you have already been taken on an unforgettable journey. Even though their queer credentials have long since been destroyed, I was coming out just as this got released so the angst, guitars and bratty vocals all hit perfectly. I think the concept for the video still stands the test of time. Take away the gratuitous wet shirts and face rubbing, there is still something powerful regarding queer kids (trans, currently) being viewed by this persecutory, disapproving crowd, observed like prisoners behind bars.

The ultimate of angst anthems.
